I don't want to take it. It hurts, I never cared much about my height.

You can report abuse to children services. Section 419.3 reads, "no child, regardless of age should be subject to consumable goods not stamped and approved by the National Food Registry guide."

There's nothing wrong with gaining an additional inch or two ... but there definitely is something wrong when a parent forces the child to do something against their will.
If I were the parent, I'd still try to convince my child that trying on the growth hormones may actually be beneficial in the long run ~ as in 'no pain, no gain'. This, however, should be done in a democratic way ... one which involves an open dialogue between the two.
Honestly, being tall has a lot of benefits, johnyewchung. Your family may belong to a lineage that is 'vertically challenged' ~ and they just want you to experience otherwise. And now that an opportunity such as this has presented itself your parents (your mum) is more than eager to let you take advantage of it!
If you would really like to see things through, initiate the talk with your parents and tell them where you're coming from and know the reason why they insist on you going through this.
Who knows, you may just be focusing too much on the minor trade-off (... it hurts taking the growth hormnes ...) but not really seeing the bigger picture (disadvantages of being short vs advantages of being tall).
That being said, can you tell me what specific growth hormone you are taking? Thanks ;)

We went thru the same type of thing when our daughter was born weighing in at only 4 lbs 13 oz and only 17 inches long. She was only 12 lbs at her 12 month check up. There was nothing wrong with her. She was just little. Our doctor encouraged us to have her tested for all the possible things that MIGHT be wrong with her. When she came back with a clean bill of health our doctor left it alone. The specialist, of course, wanted us to do more but we declined. She is now almost 11 years old, she weighs about 53 lbs and about 50 inches tall. She is happy as can be, loves the attention she gets, has many, many friends and surprise everyone with the things she wants to try.... including basketball. We talk often about how God has made her just on the little side (she is not a dwarf or anything) and how he is perfect in his plans and has something very special in mind for her life. Its too bad your Mom can't see what a gift she has been given in the person you are NOW!! Talk to an adult not affiliated with your family, school staff, Pastor. I'm sure you are still in your preteen years but it seems you have enough sense to know what you want... and what you DON'T want. Good Luck to you.

Talk to your dad. Talk to an aunt or uncle. Talk to a teacher or your doctor. Get someone to back you on this. You shouldn't have to take pills that you don't want just so your mom can say that her daughter is tall. What if she decides you need plastic surgery? Will she make you do that too?

Talk to a doctor about this. Be sure to take you mother along with you. Let the doctor tell her the harms she is causing you, not only physically but emotionally.
She should be able to accept you for who you are, after all she created you. If she can't accept that then leave her at the doctor's and let him help her.

tell your dr. u don't want to take it. how old are u? if u r like 15 or older, the dr. may take what u want into consideration, make sure u tell him its because of the side effects. a child who says he doesn't care don't have much affect on people, children ussually don't care about anything, but if u say its the side effects they may take it more seriously.
this isn't a nice advice for me to give, but this is what i would do if i were in your situation and no one was listening to me, i would make myself throw it(medication) up.

Growth hormones for height? What do you mean it hurts? Genetics are genetics...you will be as tall as your supposed to be..what the heck is wrong with your mother????? Talk to another adult that you trust....a family member..a teacher...a school counceller....a priest...this is wrong...very very wrong..... call a kids helpline and see what they say. I feel for you..good luck.

your mom is so wrong by making you take them .. you need to sit down and talk with her and tell her she is hurting you and this is not what you want and if she don't want to hear it then you need to talk to someone you can trust and get some help cause this is wrong .. she is your mom no matter what she is to love you for who you are what is wrong with her is all i have to say
